Sharon "Shar" and
Karen “Kar”: Too similar/rhyming imo
Samuel and
Simeon: Very nice names together
Kyle and
Matthew “
Matt”: Certainly not too similar but they don't sound like brother,
Kyle seems so modern and trendy and
Matthew to traditional
Aiden and
Eden: Too similar
Kory and
Kathryn “
Katy”: Ok, but I find the K-spellng of
Cory contrived
Jannel and
Joelle: I only like
JoelleKelsey and Kennice: NMT
Joan “Joannie” and
Debra “
Debbie”: I would prefer
Joanna and
DeborahJennifer “
Jennie” and
Jessica “
Jessie”:
Jennifer and
Jessica are great twin names, if you want the same initial. But
Jennie and
Jessie are a bit too similar.
Ones I Made Up:
Joseph and
Abigail (in one of my stories): Great names together
Ruth and
Naomi: Almost too good together if you know the bible story
Grace and
Faith: Sounds good together but I know many find theme names cheesy (I don't)
Hosea and
Isaiah (yes, they are rather close): Very OT
Joannah and
Deborah: I really like this combination (see above) though I prefer the spelling
JoannaZedekiah and
Zebedee (a little unusual): Too close imo
The silly ones would be great for pets like hamsters and guinea pigs.
